Joshua 2:4-24
4
And the woman H802 took H3947 the two H8147 men, H582 and hid H6845 them, and said H559 thus, H3651 There came H935 men H582 to me, but I knew H3045 not from where H370 they were:
5
And it came H1961 to pass about the time of shutting H5462 of the gate, H8179 when it was dark, H2822 that the men H582 went H3318 out: where H575 the men H582 went H1980 I know H3045 not: pursue H7291 after H310 them quickly; H4118 for you shall overtake H5381 them.
6
But she had brought H5927 them up to the roof H1406 of the house, and hid H2934 them with the stalks H6086 of flax, H6593 which she had laid in order H6186 on the roof. H1406
7
And the men H582 pursued H7291 after H310 them the way H1870 to Jordan H3383 to the fords: H4569 and as soon H834 as they which H834 pursued H7291 after H310 them were gone H3318 out, they shut H5462 the gate. H8179
8
And before H2962 they were laid H7901 down, H7901 she came H5927 up to them on the roof; H1406
9
And she said H559 to the men, H582 I know H3045 that the LORD H3068 has given H5414 you the land, H776 and that your terror H367 is fallen H5307 on us, and that all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 faint H4127 because H6440 of you.
10
For we have heard H8085 how H834 the LORD H3068 dried H3001 up the water H4325 of the Red H5488 sea H3220 for you, when you came H3318 out of Egypt; H4714 and what H834 you did H6213 to the two H8147 kings H4428 of the Amorites, H567 that were on the other H5676 side H5676 Jordan, H3383 Sihon H5511 and Og, H5747 whom H834 H853 you utterly destroyed. H2763
11
And as soon as we had heard H8085 these things, our hearts H3824 did melt, H4549 neither H3808 did there remain H6965 any more H5750 courage H7307 in any man, H376 because H6440 of you: for the LORD H3068 your God, H430 he is God H430 in heaven H8064 above, H4605 and in earth H776 beneath. H8478
12
Now H6258 therefore, I pray H4994 you, swear H7650 to me by the LORD, H3068 since H3588 I have showed H6213 you kindness, H2617 that you will also H1571 show H6213 kindness H2617 to my father's H1 house, H1004 and give H5414 me a true H571 token: H226
13
And that you will save H2421 alive H2421 my father, H1 and my mother, H517 and my brothers, H251 and my sisters, H269 and all H3605 that they have, and deliver H5337 our lives H5315 from death. H4194
14
And the men H582 answered H559 her, Our life H5315 for yours, if H518 you utter H5046 not this H2088 our business. H1697 And it shall be, when the LORD H3068 has given H5414 us the land, H776 that we will deal H6213 kindly H2617 and truly H571 with you.
15
Then she let H3381 them down H3381 by a cord H2256 through H1157 the window: H2474 for her house H1004 was on the town H7023 wall, H2346 and she dwelled H3427 on the wall. H2346
16
And she said H559 to them, Get H3212 you to the mountain, H2022 lest H6435 the pursuers H7291 meet H6293 you; and hide H2247 yourselves there H8033 three H7969 days, H3117 until H5704 the pursuers H7291 be returned: H7725 and afterward H310 may you go H3212 your way. H1870
17
And the men H582 said H559 to her, We will be blameless H5355 of this H2088 your oath H7621 which H834 you have made us swear. H7650
18
Behold, H2009 when we come H935 into the land, H776 you shall bind H7194 this H2088 line H8615 of scarlet H8144 thread H2339 in the window H2474 which H834 you did let H3381 us down H3381 by: and you shall bring H622 your father, H1 and your mother, H517 and your brothers, H251 and all H3605 your father's H1 household, H1004 home H1004 to you.
19
And it shall be, that whoever H3605 H834 shall go H3318 out of the doors H1817 of your house H1004 into the street, H2351 his blood H1818 shall be on his head, H7218 and we will be guiltless: H5355 and whoever H3605 H834 shall be with you in the house, H1004 his blood H1818 shall be on our head, H7218 if H518 any hand H3027 be on him.
20
And if H518 you utter H5046 this H2088 our business, H1697 then we will be quit H5355 of your oath H7621 which H834 you have made us to swear. H7650
21
And she said, H559 According to your words, H1697 so H3651 be it. And she sent H7971 them away, and they departed: H3212 and she bound H7194 the scarlet H8144 line H8615 in the window. H2474
22
And they went, H3212 and came H935 to the mountain, H2022 and stayed H3427 there H8033 three H7969 days, H3117 until H5704 the pursuers H7291 were returned: H7725 and the pursuers H7291 sought H1245 them throughout all H3605 the way, H1870 but found H4672 them not.
23
So the two H8147 men H582 returned, H7725 and descended H3381 from the mountain, H2022 and passed H5674 over, H5674 and came H935 to Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun, H5126 and told H5608 him all H3605 things that befell H4672 them:
24
And they said H559 to Joshua, H3091 Truly H3588 the LORD H3068 has delivered H5414 into our hands H3027 all H3605 the land; H776 for even H1571 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of the country H776 do faint H4127 because H6440 of us.
1 Samuel 21:2
And David H1732 said H559 to Ahimelech H288 the priest, H3548 The king H4428 has commanded H6680 me a business, H1697 and has said H559 to me, Let no H408 man H376 know H3045 any H3972 thing H1697 of the business H1697 about which H834 I send H7971 you, and what H834 I have commanded H6680 you: and I have appointed H3045 my servants H5288 to such H492 and such H492 a place. H4725
2 Samuel 17:19
And the woman H802 took H3947 and spread H6566 a covering H4539 over H5921 the well's H875 mouth, H6310 and spread H7849 ground H7383 corn H7383 thereon; H5921 and the thing H1697 was not known. H3045
2 Samuel 17:20
And when Absalom's H53 servants H5650 came H935 to the woman H802 to the house, H1004 they said, H559 Where H346 is Ahimaaz H290 and Jonathan? H3083 And the woman H802 said H559 to them, They be gone H5674 over H5674 the brook H4323 of water. H4325 And when they had sought H1245 and could not find H4672 them, they returned H7725 to Jerusalem. H3389
